Jerrod Brown, Ph.D., is a professor, trainer, consultant, and researcher, and the founder and CEO of the American Institute for the Advancement of Forensic Studies (AIAFS). He has focused some of his work on the topic sexually motivated homicides. Mysopeds are an extreme outlier of the sexually motivated child killer.

Show Highlights:

The AIAFS organization and Jerrod Brown’s contributions. Colleague, and previous guest, Eric Hickey.

What is “mysopedia?” A little known, “sadistic pedophile,” murderer of children. How can it be distinguished from sexual sadists, pedophiles, and other conditions?

Motive for these crimes. The depersonalization and hatred of the victim. The role of fantasy and fantasy development. A cyclical process where the perpetrator returns to a “baseline” state, ultimately.

Trauma and attachment based lens. Rejection from family and friends. Brain development and the fracturing of attachment.

Mysopedia as an “unfolding event” over time. A lot of moving parts, with much mystery in dealing with a combination of factors.

Albert Fish - an infamous and prolific serial killer. Known for the most paraphiliac behavior. Pain and pleasure were equated. Reportedly, he had inserted so many metal pins in his body that he short-circuited the electric chair at his execution.

Wesley Allan Dodd - A disturbing case of a young man who seemed to have progressed over time from a loveless upbringing to acts of murder as an adult. How the Dodd case could teach us about what interventions could make a difference - we hope.

Jerrod’s interest in this area and his mission to aid in understanding the myriad causes of criminal actions.
